Communal online encyclopedias represent one of the latest resources to be found on the Internet. They are in many respects like traditional printed encyclopedias collections of articles on various subjects. What is specific to these online encyclopedias, however, is that any Internet user can contribute a new article or make an editorial change in an existing one. As a result, the encyclopedia is authored by the whole community of Internet users. The idea might sound attractive, but the communal online encyclopedias have several important problems that make them much less valuable than traditional, printed encyclopedias.
First, contributors to a communal online encyclopedia often lack academic credentials, thereby making their contributions partially informed at best and downright inaccurate in many cases. Traditional encyclopedias are written by trained expertswho adhere to standards of academic rigor that nonspecialists cannot really achieve.
Second, even if the original entry in the online encyclopedia is correct, the communal nature of these online encyclopedias gives unscrupulous users and vandals or hackers the opportunity to fabricate, delete, and corrupt information in the encyclopedia. Once changes have been made to the original text, an unsuspecting user cannot tell the entry has been tampered with. None of this is possible with a traditional encyclopedia.
Third, the communal encyclopedias focus too frequently, and in too great a depth, on trivial and popular topics, which creates a false impression of what is important and what is not. A child doing research for a school project may discover that a major historical event receives as much attention in an online encyclopedia as, say, a single long-running television program. The traditional encyclopedia provides a considered view of what topics to include or exclude and contains a sense of proportion that online "democratic" communal encyclopedias do not.
The reading is on giving importance on traditional encyclopedia such as printed version by downgrading communal online encyclopedia. The lecturer states the great values of communal online encyclopedia. He provides three reasons to refute each of the reading claim.
First, the passage claims online encyclopedia is erroneous and unscrupulous. However, the professor denies this claim. She states to define online encyclopedia is erroneous is not a fair criticism because the mistake is easy to identify and emend. But, in traditional library the information is never been an accurate and there was no comprehensive reference both online and offline. And also it is been required a decade to identify in traditional libraries error.
Second, the reading states hacking is occurring in online encyclopedia. But, the lecturer refutes the statement. She discloses, there is a number of ways are available to protect online encyclopedia articles by launching reading format, by monitoring contents by a supervisor.
Thirdly, the reading asserts the online encyclopedia has a space problems. The professor found, the assertions is quite problematic. She represents that space is not an issue in online library because it provides verities of content and they are diversified in use.
